Thread: Cello sheet music

Forgive my ignorance, but...is there any difference between "cello sheet music" and ordinary sheet music? I ask because you sound kind of specific. And, it took me a while to realize that sheet music for trumpets has the notes written a whole step lower (or was it higher?) than what is actually played, so...is cello the same way, or will any old sheet music suffice?

As for places to acquire sheet music, 8notes.com never fails me.

this place is decent. i don't play cello but i have a guitar in cello tuning.

I hate 8notes, always the wrong key or you have to subscribe
I use it occasionally, but I mean like a tab directory for guitars has everything, something like that for cello.

Cello sheet music is written with a bass clef and is in the cello's key. For instance, an A on a cello may be an F on a trumpet(I don't know for sure, but just an example)
